Trump's America First revolution is finishing what 1776 started—rooted in Hamilton's American System—while Mark Carney and the Democratic Socialists of America run a fake, City-of-London-backed counterrevolution to tear the country down.
The key outcome of Trump's China visit was the personal trust between Trump and Xi — Xi's "secret garden" tour, previously reserved for Putin — establishing guardrails for the U.S.–China race. London and Carney are screaming.
Barbara Boyd argues the key outcome of Trump’s China visit was the personal trust between Trump and Xi, symbolized by Xi’s “secret garden” tour previously reserved for Putin, and framed as establishing guardrails for U.S.–China strategic and tech competition amid the Iran war and energy geopolitics. She says London and Democrats are “screaming” because Trump is reshaping global economic relationships while Treasury Secretary Bessent lifts U.S. sanctions on Russian exports. The episode targets Mark Carney and Keir Starmer as City of London figures who tried to capture China finance, advance BRICS as a dollar alternative, promote a synthetic reserve currency via CBDCs, and steer $130T through green finance—efforts Boyd says have failed as Trump reverses “Green New Deal” policies. She highlights DOJ election-rigging probes, renewed scrutiny of “Russiagate,” anti-fraud prosecutions, voter backlash, and insurgent politics in Los Angeles and London.

JD Vance's Nixon Library remarks expose the real fight: America's tradition of ending wars versus Kissinger's British "balance of power." From the new Lebanon–Israel framework to White Sands laser tests, Susan Kokinda shows how Trump is dismantling the Kissinger doctrine that took Nixon down.
Barbara traces the DSA candidates backed by Mayor Mamdani — and the Council on Foreign Relations' "post-Trump" project — to one dead communist, Antonio Gramsci, and the British imperial networks that have always used communism against their rivals.
